SpartanX warrant math correction landed overnight — Newt sent Crowell a revised split (28.1% -> 26.9%) after finding an error excluding unallocated options; Crowell said they'll review and revert. Kept open, now the freshest thread in Q1.
exception
New Q1 item: SpartanX bringdown deck has 2 unconfirmed "yellows" Anton flagged last night, to close out before today's 10am SpartanX Research call.
exception
Genesis debrief thread evolved into a concrete legal/contract question — Holzman is asking Newt for the exact contract sign date, end date, and non-renewal notice deadline. Retitled the Q1 item to reflect this.
exception
New Q2 item: Anton asked you directly to take first crack at Compyl's Q2 data pull next week (Austen departed, no clear owner) — this is a named ask on you, not team-CC noise.
exception
Merlin retitled to reflect the IC date (Mon Aug 3) — Ben Nye and Anton both raised substantive pricing/market concerns post-presentation; you need a position before the IC, not just a fast read.
exception
South x Southie / SUW item marked done — the event date (Jul 29) has passed with no further personal-Gmail-only signal to chase.
exception
Events section refreshed for the week ahead: AI Cyber Alliance and South x Southie (both Jul 29) dropped as past; added TiE Women's Angels "What Kills Investor Conviction?" Fri Jul 31, 4pm (standing TiE/Alok rule).
standing
Arthrix and Control+/Supertide inaction-rule clocks all advanced by a day; Arthrix is now at the 2-week New Company Inaction threshold alongside Supertide and Control+.
standing
Opsin and Overwatch signals to watch: another full 7-day inbox+sent pull found no new independent activity for either name. Last-seen incremented to 2026-07-30 for both in triage_rules.md; count unchanged at 1, still awaiting your confirmation before either standing rule changes.
signal
No feedback was left in the dashboard since the Jul 29 run (feedback column was empty) — no standing-rule or signal changes triggered by user input this session; all changes above came from the email/calendar pull.
exception
